Assembling

To make sure you sew all parts in the right place, you can use some sewing pins to position them. When you are happy with the position, you can sew them on.
Sew the legs on to the bottom of the body, the front legs are pointing to the front. The back legs are pointing to the side.
For the eyes, nose and other details, you can either choose to use felt or you can embroider them on. I chose to embroider them on, cause yeah why choose the easy way haha. But which way you choose, your Tsum will be cute anyway.
With some black plushy yarn I created his beard, but you can use regular yarn for it as well. Just go around half way his face, pull the yarn through and repeat a few more times.

I hope you Enjoyed this pattern! Don’t forget to show me when you did make him~~.

Love
